Symptoms
You may find that extproc calls through the LISTENER (not Dynamically spawned ones) are not being released.
This can result in excessive processes remaining on the Database Server.
Only solution is to stop the Listener and kill the processes that seem to be "stuck"
Changes
This may be a new installation or an upgrade, containing SID_DESC information for Extproc rather than the default Extproc use via the Multithreaded Extproc Agent.
